Topic: Problems installing joomla 3.7 (Read 1954 times)

I have a problem installing joomla on my set up and was hoping someone may have a suggestion on how to sort my problem....

I have been using softaculous premium demo and everything works perfectly but i just logged onto their site to buy premium license and they only accept payment by paypal which is a no-go for me now as have recently closed my paypal account. Softaculous may be overkill anyway as i only want to run a few sites on my vps and i would prefer to install manually.

I am having trouble installing joomla manually. Everything is ok up until the part where i point browser at my domain and i get a 500 server error page. I tried this today and a month ago and always the same problem.

Joomla folders have been unzipped and are in root folder for the user account.

I have tried disabling csf and then mod-security to see if that is the problem but still the same 500 page.

I am fairly sure that it is not mod_security that is causing the issue as my live joomla site was installed through softaculous with mod_security on with no issues. I tried yesterday with mod_security disabled and &i still had the issue.

I will check apache logs later but it is just strange why all works ok with auto-installer but not manually.
